The dot Net framework installed on your computer is what allows newer programs to run. It is considered a prerequisite for any program written in the newer dot Net languages. When these dot NET programs are installed the installation program will either install a copy of the dot Net Framework on the computer or prompt you to install it in order to run the new software. The good news is that once installed the dot Net framework is available to any dot NET program installed there after. THis simplifies and speeds up the deployment of software. If you remove itno harm will come to your computer BUT you do risk temporarily breaking any software app which requires it. You can reinstall if needed or you will find that it gets installed when you install another program. I do want mention that not all programs require it. Only those written in the newer microsoft DOT NET environment. So removing the framework will only break DOT NET based programs.
